9-18

what a beautiful morning!!! I've been up since 5:30, just finished my cup of nettle tea. My naturopath Dr. told me it's good for lowering blood sugar and also DHEA ( I think). I started drinking it like 5 days ago and it's really good, I use agave to sweeten it a bit. Be careful it will make you use the lady's room quite a bit, it's also a diuretic.

I think I'm a book addict, I've been reading A New Earth and also just started readng Ask and It Is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks. I'm really liking the Hicks' book, I like them both but I'm finding a New Earth I can only read so much then I have to put the book down and reflect on what I've read. I have quite a few books I still need to read. I've been looking for work and haven't had any luck. A part of me wants to work then another part doesn't. When my son goes to school I have the house to myself and I REALLY enjoy the silence. I don't put the tv on, and at times I don't even put on my relaxing music. I lite my candles, sit in my big cushy chair, and will read or just sit there and enjoy the quiet. The cats come in the living room and sit right in the middle and enjoy it too :).

I'm still in the middle of healing myself and being at home alone gives me that opportunity. Now will bills and all that good stuff, I wonder if maybe getting a part time job would still give me the best of both worlds? Whatever is meant to be will be................

My oldest daughter is going to be moving in a month to go live with my mom so she can get ready to start college in January. I am so proud of her!! She graduated, got a job, has been really good with managing her money, and now is going to go back to school to be a vet. I think she will do fantastic working with animals. She was a bit shocked at how long the schooling is to become a vet but that's ok, even if she has to go to school part time it's better than not doing it at all. It'll all pay off in the end.

My son is in football and is doing great, he's really learning alot and I like how it keeps him active. It's a big commitment though, I have to take him to practice 3 times a week for 2 hours and games are on Saturday. I have to have dinner cooked and ready to eat by 4:30 so we can leave by 5 and don't get home till 8:30. It's only for another month so that's good. Next he wants to do archery. I'm noticing behaviors with my son I'm not sure about, if it's normal boy stuff or if it's like ADHD? Not sure what dietary changes I can do since I limit so much as it is now. I'll have to talk to my ND. What raises the red flag for me is his reading level it's very low, he puts words in the sentences that aren't there, his writing is terrible. I will tell him how to write something and he turns right around and will do the opposite...........oy. O'well I'll get it figured out, he's a great boy!!!

I have to get back to exercising. I don't like how easily I gain weight and how icky I feel when I don't exercise..........so that is a great indication to stay exercising LOL. Things have been so hectic I have to get creative. It's ok I'll get it figured out, the pounds will melt off, and I'll be a thin, healthy, hot mama :)

Well better stay the day and do stuff around here
Blessings!!!
